Vietnam!The people are so forthcoming, outgoing and friendly here, it’s such a beautiful country so far – we have Saigon tomorrow.Lori, Liz, Jon, Steve and I grabbed a taxi and drove to the two main points of interest in Nha Trang.The first is an ancient Buddhist ground built atop a hill where only a few of the worshipping temples now stand and are still used by the locals.The second is mainly a monument to those who fell during the Vietnam War.Like LanTauIsland in Hong Kong there was a giant outdoors Buddha sitting upon a lotus leaf, overlooking the memorial, which was surrounded by temples and other various Buddhas.The only other highlights of the city are a giant cathedral and an arts and crafts market where you watch the Vietnamese women making their crafts.On the pier there was wicked shopping for even cheaper than Hong Kong… I managed to restrain myself… somewhat!
